AirTran announces new service to Key West

[gutshotdraw]

He doesn't want to give up his job at Taco Bell. He's got seniority. He's moving up to Assistant Manager next year. That's when the big bucks start to roll in.

Yawn. . . . I hate to break it to you, ace, but I was based at a 5100' strip for two years, and the jet I was flying had higher ref speeds, manual spoilers, manual brakes and similar runway numbers to the 737.

I've flown jets into Key West, and Telluride, and other places that you couldn't even find on a map, certainly not the map that came with the happy meal you are a few fries short of completing.

Let's revisit this conversation after 12 months of EYW ops, shall we, and we'll determine then if the risk was worth the reward . . . . I hope it will be, but I doubt that will be the conclusion.

...havin to defend your knowledge of flying to a 1900 guy, and then 'hoping' your airline doesn't screw up, but secretly hoping they do, just to prove your point...interesting.

You make it sound like you are an expert. Unless, you have stepped up and helped do some of the work/analysis to make sure the decision makers at your airline aren't making a stupid decision (they usually pay good bucks for this from experts like you, and you are helpin to save a bud down the road), your words are nothin more than social discourse.

If you have worked to make the correct solution on this, good on ya!
Good luck either way.

You either have to train everyone, or no one.

Uh, yeah, B-bag, that's how real airlines do it. Apparently, you have never been at one. Commuter to AirTran, and you know it all . . . . mmmf!

All Ty does is mouth off about everything, without giving anyone any idea how to make things work. Hell, even his buddies say that.

Actually, since the last D.O. change, they have implemented two changes I suggested. . . . so again, maybe you should quit running your man-pleaser and start doing your job, instead of me doing your job for you. Have a nice gay day, dude.

Then get hired by AAI and show 'em all how it's done.

I work at a Major. AAI would be a step down.

I've found the AirTran crews to be professional, friendly-the kind you would want to fly with. Their jets are better than yours, bet a week's pay-yours, not mine.

And if your post is serious..."C-152,C-172,C-182,BE-90, RJ"-call back in 10 years-no, 15 years....and your weight should be WAY less than your flight time divided by 10, if you are at a major. Take a trip over to the Jenny Craig webpage...you'll make it to 65. And if you're at Delta, how much does that size uniform cost?

We're gonna miss Fantasy Fest this year.......HAAY burp HAAYYY

Ty
Many "real" airlines designate "special" airports so that only certain pilots can fly into them. They do this for cost affectivness. THEY DON'T TRAIN EVERYONE! Training everyone is not cost affective. Thats why companies dictate "special" airports! But since you know everything, you already knew that as well. But nice try.

BTW... You TEX genius you. Whats the noise abatment procedure into TEX? And I'm not talking about flying up the valley to land on 9! You know so much about TEX that this should be an easy one for you.

Then you made that stupid comment about some guy named Ron. Its obvious you really have no idea what you are talking about!

Hey Brah, Akeem's already got dibs on that position

RAJ.... When was the last time someone screwed up a takeoff? With the exception of a wrong flap setting? What you don't understand is that this is not an A/C performance issue, its a pilot performance issue! The A/C will have no problem, its already been proven on the performance runs... The issue is missing the touchdown zone, having too much speed, and rolling long off the end of the runway. Maybe you don't understand that? If youve flown into a short runway you would know that as well! Don't believe me, just ask SWA! Any idiot can make the T/O numbers work. Hold the brakes, add full power, and go..... I will say it again, maybe you missed the point, AAI already did the testing runs! THEY ALREADY PROVED THE A/C HAS THE PERFORMANCE!!!! Hell, even though Ty and I argue about everything, even he is smart enough to know that the issue is pilot performance when landing, and not T/O performance.

Ty. Sorry, don't know a Ron B at Mesa/Cal light. Only know 2 Ron's, haven't talked to either in over 5 years! BTW. What kind of training do you want AAI to do? The only possible thing would be to make it a "special" airport and allow only a certain few pilots bid Key West. The guys who can do it, can! the guys that can't...... Can't! No amount of training is going to help those that cant fly be able to suddently handle a short runway. How do you "train" someone to land in the touchdown zone? Were not talking TEX, EGE, or ASE here. This is a very easy aiport with the exception of a somewhat short runway.

Do you understand how to get takeoff numbers under FAR Part 25 certification ? Do you know what 3 factors are used in finding a takeoff distance for your part 25 aircraft?

You shouldn't have any trouble landing because your Operations Manual calls for carrier type landings on Every landing.

Peace out

[Ty Webb]

Glad somebody got the reference.



Instructortool auditioned for the part where the only line was: "The royal p3n!s is clean your highness."

 

[gt1900]

Didn't think youd be able to answer that question Ty. You TEX genius you!

 

[Captjiggles]

Im so over this TEX thang.........I really like TEX-MEX food tho

 

[Ty Webb]

Didn't think youd be able to answer that question Ty. You TEX genius you!

What's your point? Who cares? I'm sure for your FO's. the preferred noise abatement procedure would probably involve a roll of duct tape, wrapped around your nose and mouth.
